Is there a way to tell FFS to only compare the timestamps of files?
I'm using the Ubuntu version to copy files from an external disk, which were written by my Windows laptop. The file sizes differ by a small amount, so far more files are copied than necessary and the same, unchanged, files are copied everytime I run FFS.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

You could try defining a Custom sync variant instead of using a Mirror sync variant.
And define all Actions being the same as for the Mirror variant, except for the Difference Category "Conflict/item cannot be categorized" where you would select the Action "Leave as unresolved conflict".
Items having the same timestamp but different size would fall in this Category.

Thanks, that worked.
15k files updated, rather than 68k.
